So yesterday I got a little flying in with the Crash Cub S. Changing the thrust angle (after repairing the nose after the last crash) help quite a bit. It seemed to trim out better and hold with a great range of throttle. I ended without a crash, and I flew better than last time (no in beginner mode). So I'm making progress, moving in the right direction. I'm not taking the Simple Scout up until I'm more proficient with the Crash Cub. So I jumped the gun on the build, but I really enjoy building, probably as much (maybe more) than the flying. They are just different activities and I understand it's not for everyone.
I did some more work on the Simple Scout. I'm calling it the Roo Baron (I'll explain later). I've made quite a few mistakes, all fixable but they all left some kind of cosmetic mark. I would have done much better to get the built kit (as a first build), as the majority of my mistakes are related to cutting. The cutting has taken way longer than I expected, but that's ok. But I'm getting a full education on building. ha
So I'm waiting for parts at this point, won't have them until Thursday. I can't really proceed until I get them. The wings, tail and chassis are done. I've been painting today. Again, some mistakes, but it's all a learning curve. You'll notice a fence around the parts being painted, well it's because I have a young Australian Cattle Dog mix, Roo. She is awesome dog, but she is into everything.
